How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shyly penetrated the mist and gently brushed across the quiet valley, Fang Ci and his team had quietly woken up, welcoming the dawn of the new day together with the sleeping earth. Their camp was hazy and mysterious in the mist, surrounded by the reluctant eyes of the wolves, as if bidding silent farewell to these short-lived companions.

After packing up, they set out on their journey again. As their pace quickened, the mountain air seemed to become fresher, with a hint of the unique crispness and sweetness after the snow. Under the morning light, the snow line on the ridge was like a silver ribbon, gently wrapped between the peaks, both distant and attractive, leading them forward.

After several hours of arduous trekking, when the sun gradually climbed to the zenith and cast its warm light over the earth, Fang Ci and his party finally stepped onto the soft snow they had dreamed of. The snow beneath their feet made a slight creaking sound, like the most melodious music of nature, which made people feel relaxed and happy. They stopped and looked around, only to see that everything was covered in silver, pure and flawless white, as if the whole world had been purified, leaving only the purest beauty and tranquility.

In this snowy land that seems to have been forgotten by time, every snowflake carries the secret of winter, gently spreading into a flawless painting. The snow is thick and white, like clouds pouring down from the sky, gently covering every corner of the earth, making the world pure and dreamy. The sun tries to penetrate the clouds, sprinkling on this silver-clad land, adding a touch of warm color to this quiet scene.

The Ice Dragon, a quiet elf on weekdays, seemed to be awakened by the magic of the snowfield, and its nature was completely released. It played in the fluffy snow, sometimes jumping up, drawing beautiful arcs in the air; sometimes rolling, stirring the surrounding snowflakes into flying all over the sky, as if it was having a silent conversation with the snowfield, and every movement was full of endless joy and freedom.

As for Diancie, the traveler who encountered the snowy mountain scenery for the first time, her eyes sparkled with curiosity and amazement. She lowered her head carefully and gently scooped up a handful of fresh snow with her delicate hands. The snowflakes danced lightly on her fingertips, bringing a hint of coolness that penetrated her heart. Feeling the purity and freshness from nature, Diancie couldn't help but smile brightly. That smile was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and bright.

In contrast, Tao Dailang was completely different. This normally lively little guy seemed to be restrained by an invisible force after entering the snowy mountain range and became unusually lazy. He no longer ran around, nor did he chirp non-stop. Instead, he chose the most comfortable position, curled up in the warm and spacious backpack behind Fang Ci, and began to take a nap. His appearance was both cute and funny, making people laugh.

Fang Ci was also attracted by the scenery in front of him. He raised the camera hanging around his neck and wanted to record this wonderful scene.

Just as Fang Ci was immersed in the snow-covered world in the camera, a sudden scream instantly dragged him back.

"Ice Dragon!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Fang Ci's heart skipped a beat and he quickly put down his camera and ran towards the direction where the voice came from.

"Little Ice and Snow!"

Seeing this, Diancie immediately became flustered. She had not expected that she had caused an accident to the Ice Dragon just because she was not paying attention. She hurriedly followed Fang Ci with a look of self-blame on her face.

Seeing the Ice Dragon suddenly change from jubilation to powerless falling to the ground, at that moment, Fang Ci's heart suddenly tightened, as if being grabbed by an invisible hand. He almost subconsciously rushed forward, and with both hands steadily lifted up the Ice Dragon's white body that blended into the snow, revealing unquestionable tenderness and determination in his actions.

"Yin~" The Ice Dragon let out a faint low moan, the voice full of fatigue, its eyes were still clear, but now they looked particularly empty and weak. There were indeed no obvious scars on its body, but it looked like it had not slept for several days and had no energy.

Fang Ci's brows were furrowed, his eyes flashing with anxiety and anger. He looked around, trying to find any clues that might have caused the Ice Dragon to be so weak, but there was nothing around except the vast white snow and the occasional cold wind. He was filled with self-blame and doubt. He was clearly nearby and should have been able to protect every companion, but why did he let the Ice Dragon suffer such a disaster?

"What on earth is going on? What happened just now?" Fang Ci's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing his complex and strong emotions at the moment. He stared closely at the Ice Dragon's tired eyes, as if seeking an answer, an answer that could explain all this.

The Ice Dragon just shook his head weakly, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Jie Jie~"

Diancie, who was standing by, was looking at the fallen Ice Dragon with a worried look on her face, when suddenly a breeze blew by, and a very faint strange laugh seemed to be heard.

"Who's there!" This made Diancie instantly alert, and she immediately raised her hands without hesitation, and a pink diamond storm instantly rushed towards the source of the laughter.

Diancie's Diamond Storm scratched a deep dent in the ground but still found no trace of the attacker.

"Jie Jie~"

Another burst of shrill laughter that gave people goosebumps rang out, as if mocking Diancie's failed attack.

Hearing the voice, Fang Ci immediately threw out two Poké Balls, and the figures of Zoroark and Yuanzen Ape instantly appeared in front of him.

"Jie Jie~"

As if sensing a hint of danger from the three elves in front of Fang Ci, the attacker hiding in the dark laughed strangely and the sound became increasingly distant.

"Wish~"

The moment the sound faded away, Yuan Zengyuan, who had the keenest perception, instantly turned his head to look in a certain direction, but unfortunately he did not find the attacker, only a faint green firefly that dissipated with the wind.

Seeing this, Yuan Zengyuan immediately chased in the direction where the firefly disappeared.

Zoroark was about to catch up, but was suddenly stopped by Fang Ci: "Zoroark, don't chase him yet, come and see the Ice Dragon's situation."

"So~"

Upon hearing this, Zoroark immediately came to Fang Ci, leaned over and sniffed the Ice Dragon in his arms, and immediately discovered the reason why the Ice Dragon had become so weak.

"Sure enough~" Seeing Zoroark's reaction, Fang Ci's guess was confirmed. Now the Ice Dragon was obviously drained of its energy by some kind of elf that fed on energy.

"Absorbing essence?"

This strange behavior is very consistent with the style of ghost elves. However, are there any ghost elves on this snowy mountain that feed on the essence of other elves and humans?

Thinking of the elves that feed on energy on Frost Mountain, Fang Ci first thought of the elf that the travel guide clearly marked as the one that travelers need to pay attention to - the Grave Dog.

However, Fang Ci quickly ruled out this option, because the Tomb Dog's absorption of energy was often subconscious, and the speed was very slow. It would definitely not drain the Ice Dragon's energy in an instant like it did just now.

"So besides the Grave Dog, what other ghost-type Pokémon on Frostmote Mountain feed on energy?"

Just when Fang Ci was confused, the Yuanzeng Ape that had just chased out came back empty-handed. It was obvious that it did not catch the murderer.

"Ice Dragon, come back and rest for a while!" The only way to restore energy is to have a good rest, so when Fang Ci saw Yuanzeng Yuan coming back, he put the weak Ice Dragon back into the Poké Ball and stood up to greet him.

"How is it, Yuan Zengyuan, have you found anything?" There was a hint of anxiety and expectation in Fang Ci's voice, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Zengyuan who had just returned, and he was waiting for an answer eagerly.

Yuan Zengyuan was breathing softly, with a look of regret and determination in his eyes.

"Wish~" There was a hint of fatigue in the voice of Yuan Zengyuan. Obviously, this tracking was not an easy task, but he still tried his best.

Yuan Zengyuan had almost caught up with the other party just now. Recalling the thrilling chase, Yuan Zengyuan's face was full of regret. The other party's whereabouts were so erratic and his reaction was so sensitive that it was beyond its expectations. Although it tried its best, the mysterious elf still escaped in the heavy snow.

However, the Ape of Wisdom was not discouraged. During the chase, it keenly sensed the resentment in the other party, which was much stronger than that of Zoroark. This resentment was as surging as a substance, making even the well-informed Ape of Wisdom feel a little palpitated. It knew very well that this level of resentment was definitely not something that ordinary elves could possess, and there must be some unknown secrets behind that elf.

Although it failed to capture the other party in the end, it was willing to Zeng Yuan not return empty-handed. At the moment when the other party disappeared, it quickly activated its precognitive ability. In a blurry and chaotic precognitive picture, it clearly saw the outline of an abandoned ruins. The ruins were isolated on the top of the snowy mountain, covered with thick snow, and looked ancient and mysterious. It was willing to Zeng Yuan believe that the elf that attacked the ice dragon was likely hiding here.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuan Zengyuan." After listening to Yuan Zengyuan's narration, Fang Ci's words were full of sincerity and gratitude. As the voice fell, Fang Ci's eyes involuntarily turned to Zoroark beside him, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Zoroark, the ghost-type Pokémon who uses transmogrification and resentment as weapons, is standing quietly at this moment, but there are ripples in his deep eyes. The "resentment" mentioned by Yuan Zengyuan has undoubtedly touched the most sensitive string in Zoroark's heart. For Zoroark, this energy is not only the source of its power, but also the ladder for it to explore itself and challenge its limits.

When the word "resentment" fell into Zoroark's ears, its body seemed to be driven by an invisible force, and it began to rub its hands involuntarily, and a faint, barely perceptible cold breath filled its body. This breath contained both Zoroark's desire for an unknown strong enemy and its infinite longing for self-breakthrough.

After spending a long time together, Zoroark and Yuan Zeng Yuan had established a deep trust. Zoroark believed in every word and sentence of Yuan Zeng Yuan. At this moment, when Yuan Zeng Yuan asserted that the grudge of the mysterious elf was stronger than his own, Zoroark's heart was not afraid at all, but was filled with unprecedented excitement.

It knows that in this world, the truly strong will never fear a challenge, let alone an opponent stronger than itself. For Zoroark, an opponent who can inspire its full potential and allow it to constantly break through its own limits is the most worth looking forward to. Therefore, when Zoroark learned that there was a ghost-type elf hidden in this snowy mountain that was better at playing with resentment than itself, his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

In fact, Zoroark's heart has been filled with subtle struggles and desires in recent days. Every practice, every fierce battle, seems to tell it that its power has reached an indescribable limit - a bottleneck that seems within reach but is actually indestructible. No matter how hard it tries to hone its skills, no matter how deeply it explores the mystery of resentment, that barrier is like a copper wall and iron wall, unmoved.

However, when the ape brought news that the elf that attacked the Ice Dragon had a strong grudge, Zoroark's heart seemed to be lit up. It suddenly realized that this was not only a challenge, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In this elf world, elves that use grudges as a means of attack are rare; and if the opponent has a stronger grudge than itself, it will be the opponent it dreams of.

Thinking of this, Zoroark's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, which was a desire for unknown challenges and a firm belief in self-transcendence. It knew that fighting such an opponent was not only a test of its own strength, but also a deeper understanding and mastery of the power of resentment. In the battle, it would have the opportunity to personally experience the flow and changes of that powerful resentment, so as to grasp its essence and laws more accurately.

Zoroark clenched his claws tightly, as if he had sensed the fierce confrontation that was about to come. He knew that this battle would not be easy and might even be full of danger. But it was precisely such a challenge that could inspire his potential and fighting spirit deep inside. He longed to grow in battle, transform in challenges, and finally break through the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time and reach a new height.

Seeing this, Fang Ci stepped forward and gently patted Zoroark on the shoulder. As Zoroark's trainer, he was naturally very clear about Zoroark's situation. Like Zoroark, after learning that the Pokémon had a strong grudge, Fang Ci immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity for Zoroark.

However, the risks inherent in this opportunity cannot be ignored. However, Fang Ci is confident that he and Zoroark will be able to get what they want this time. This is his trust in his original partner.
